Today I have finally gotten around to swatching for you all the Fall 2011 additions to Nicole for OPI's Target Exclusive line, Something About Color. There are some seriously lovely sparkly shades in this little collection! Everything is shown with no base coat, with top coat.

Green Up Your Act

Outdoors, shade

A muted medium green creme. This is a really pretty green, different than any of the other greens I currently have in my collection. This is three coats, but I could have totally gotten away with two if I hadn't kind of messed up my ring finger. Good application.

It's Not Me, It's Blue

Outdoors, shade

Outdoors, sunlight

Totally gorgeous deep blue with a hint of purple, shimmery with a slightly foil finish. I love this one. It has such a gorgeous finish to it and the color is really fabulous. It is so sparkly in the sun and in the shade it just looks really awesome as well. This was three coats for full coverage.

Sounds Grape to Me

Outdoors, shade

Outdoors, sunlight

Gorgeous burgundy foily shimmer with a hint of golden duochrome. Also totally love this one - again, it is both beautiful in sun where is sparkles as well as in shade, where it smoulders. It has just a hint of golden flash around the edges that really puts this one over the top for me. This was two coats - also a plus!

I Love You Cherry Much

Outdoors, shade

Outdoors, sunlight

Bright cherry red with a gorgeous shimmery finish. Not normally my color, but for a bright red I do really like it. I had a tough time getting this one to photograph well so the pictures don't quite do it justice. Trust me, it's gorgeous! Three coats.

Overall Review

I was really pleased with these polishes. I found them all to be pretty unique, at least in my personal collection - admitedly smaller than a lot of yours, I'm sure! My two favorite standouts here were It's Not Me, It's Blue and Sounds Grape to Me. All polishes applied wonderfully and were between 2-3 coats for full opacity, which is always nice! Definitely a wonderful little collection in my book.
